Hi,

I'm sorry that this may sound rather dumb, but I'm trying find out what this switch I have is and does. I have a 1976 mini leyland, 1000cc (from Australia)

From the 1st photo it looks like a dimmer switch as it turns clockwise and anti clockwise. It also has "P" on it which I assume means "park or parking". When I turn on the engine and move the switch back and forth nothing seems to happen.....dash lights don't dim and it doesn't do anything to the parking lights either

The 2nd photo is the wiring diagram. No. 34 is this switch and when you follow wires they go to the front and rear lights indicated by the asterixes. I have also traced these manually and they do the same as the diagram.

As nothing happens when I move the switch I assume that it doesn't work but I'd love to know what it's function is? Appreciate any help.

Thanks in advance.
